A solid-body electric guitar is a type of guitar that has a solid, non-hollow body, which helps produce a bright and sustained sound. Unlike acoustic guitars, which rely on a hollow body to amplify sound, solid-body guitars use electronic pickups to convert string vibrations into electrical signals. This design allows for greater control over tone and volume. These guitars are popular in various music genres, especially in rock, blues, and jazz. Famous models include the Fender Stratocaster and Gibson Les Paul, both known for their distinctive sounds and versatility. Solid-body electric guitars are often favored for their durability and ease of play.
